A Word to the Magistrates.

lin county assemble to consider
the question of submitting to the
people the proposition to vote a
subscription to the capital sto OK Of
the Frankfort, Paris & Georgetown
railroad. There is no responsible,
ty to-day upon the magistrates to
vote this subscription.
The meeting is not for that pur-
pose. The magistrates will con-
slider simply whether the people
will be permitted to express their
will on the matter. 1t is in that
sense test of the pre-eminent
right of popular government.
Whatever may be the individual
views of any magistrate, he is not
concluded or bound by his vote to-
day-except SO far as it may deny
a peoples right. The simple
question is. when very respecta-
BILE body of citizens petition the
magistrates, under sanction Of
law, to submit to the people
whether they are willing to engage
in definite enterprise, will the
magistrates allow the people to de-
termine the matter for themselves?
If the deople want the railroad, is
there any good reason why they
should not be permitted to say so.
If they do not want it, is there
any good reason why they should
be denied all expression of their
dissent?
A good many thousand dollars
have been voted by the magistrates
to building turnpikes throughout
the county. A popular vote was
not taken on the subject. The
magistrates, feeling and believing
that these turnpikes would benefit
the county, took the responsibility
of voting aid to them from the
public treasury. This responsible
ity was ten-fold greater than is
asked to be exercised in the pres
ent case. Nay, it was an hundred
times greater.
When the matter comes before
the people to decide whether they
are in favor Of having the proposed
railroad built upon the conditions
submitted by those especially
charged with the enterprise-the
opportunity will be afforded for
every man to express his views by
his vote. The ballot boxAex-
pressing the public will-must de.
eide the matter. 1t is right that it
should so decide, or else popular
government is merely name.
If any magistrate feels that he
cannot support the proposition to
be submitted, it should not hinder
him from voting to submit it. In
authorizing a vote to be taken at
the polls, he is removing the re-
sponsibility from himself and plac-
ing it where it belongs OF right.
Is any magistrate afraid to trust
the people? We hope not.
1t is the best opportunity Frank
lin county has ever had to get a
railroad. 1t may be the last. 1t
may be the turning point in the
life of the county. 1t may be the
very time and the very hour when
we, as people, are to go forward,
or to 60 backward. The signs all
demonstrate that it is the hour.
We are one people. What Injuries
one class of citizens Injuries all.
What benefits one class benefits
all. Surely. in this crisis. the DeO- |

r@rWe doubt if any one who knows him would
question the Democracy of Mr.. G. W. Cruikshank,
.l:t-- &c ..o rn";i D~~o~-rf He Yields trench
ant pen and there is boldness in his utterances
that must make the ringites in his party feel very
uncomfortable. He frequently, of late, has paid
his respects to Senator German and in the last
issue of his paper, in an editorial on Mr.. John X.
Governs letter to the Baltimore Sun, he calls the
Senator 'the arch-hypocrite who rules the desti-
MES of the Democratic party" If that isn't high
treason, what is it Verify, there must be some
thing radically wrong when party paper-one
that flies the names of the State Democratic NOM

by whose grace these same nominees were selected.

m-We have often said that the people OF
Baltimore county-particularly the Democratic
voters-are not such hide bound partisans today
as they were ten fifteen years ago, when it
was considered a crime for Democrat to "split'
his ticket. Now it has grown fashionable to
"kick," and if every man who does it was driven
out of the Democratic party the organization
would soon be in a bad plight, indeed. The ad-
dress issued by the "Citizens' Independent Par
ty," which now has complete Democratic ticket
in the field, says: "One word about kickers may
be proper although the time for reproach for this
little sin has really passed away, when we see the
most active kickers taken up by the most regu-
lar of Democrats and both elected and appointed
to the highest and most responsible positions !!
In fact the present chairman of the State Execu-
tive Committee and the present Mayor of Balti-
more, both of whom fill their positions by the
grace of Mr.. German, were both most lively kick
ers quite lately"

@-The Executive Committee of the "Citizens'
Independent Ticket" has issued an address to the
voters of Baltimore county, which is very strong
appeal to Democrats to assist them in their efforts
to down the nominees of the Irregular" convention.
The address is ably written and goes into partic-
ulars about the late Democratic primaries, charg-
ing that more than $40, 900 was spent in that con-
test GAS corruption fund for the use of the win
ming faction of the party" and further, that one
individual gave as much as $1,000 for use in q
single district. The address says further that
candidates who were comparatively poor spent
their all, and money was openly and freely used
about the polling places, and tickets given out
with 50, S., $40 and as high as $40 when neces-
sary, to vote them" The convention is also
handled without gloves and the address says that
when that body went into the Court House it was
FOLLOWED by bowling mob, composed largely
of rufians and convicts," and that the nomina-
tons were made "amid the jostling, yelling, hiss
ing, cursing crowd of heelers, one of whom even
attacked and assaulted delegate upon the floor
of the convention" Altogether the address is q
powerful arraignment of the Irregular" Democratic
organization, denouncing it for numerous mis-
deeds and shortcomings. The address is pub
lished in full in our advertising columns to-day.

@The Democratic dissatisfaction in Balti-
more county does not subside as the weeks roll by
in fact it appears more widespread to-day than
it did Immediately after the nominations were
made. There is no use in the REGULARS" trying
to deny this, because it is apparent to any one
who observes the drift of public sentiment. 1t
may be that many of those who are now kicking
so violently may be gotten back into the harness
before the 9Th of November, but large majority
of them have gone SO far that it will hardly be
possible for them to return and if they fail to do SO
the "regulars" may find before the end of the can
vass that they have uphill work. Judging from
the past we must say that it is not safe to base any
great calculations upon discomfort in the Demo-
cratic party. We have seen this amply proven in
Baltimore county heretofore, but the present cam
paign may prove an exception to the rule, and
those who have boldly stepped out of the party
lines may refuse to return, and should this BE the
case there is no telling what the result may be.

MEssRs W. B. BAKER AND DAVID A. KENNY
Gentlemen - Your letter, notifying me that l
have been nominated by the Republican party,
through its representatives in convention, for the
position of Associate Judge of the Third Judicial
District is in my hands. The announcement by
you officially of the result of the deliberations of
the convention and your desire that should ac-
cept such, is received by me with feelings of q
grateful appreciation Of the honor that has been
conferred and deep sensibility of the trust re-
posed; more especially so since as you are well
aware the nomination was in no wise sought or
solicited by me, and 1 should have been only too
glad had the responsibilities involved fallen upon
the shoulders of some one more worthy. But upon
a mature consideration of the subject, should
decline the nomination profered, l feel that
would be guilty of a dereliction of duty entirely
inconsistent with the course have endeavored in
the past to follow, and hope in the future to pursue
position among the judiciary of our State is
one that every practitioner OF the law may we'll
aspire to, but the weghty responsibility of a
Judgship, involving as it does the preservation of
the legal rights and duties of man to man, and
the legal recognition of the wrongs of the people,
with their proper redress, together with all the
other necessary and high attributes of the office,
render it in my mind position of such charac-
ter that its approach should be with feelings not
only of awe and reverence, but also with the firm
est determination that the administration of its
functions should be characterized by freedom
from any ENHANCEMENT which would tend in the
slightest to bring censure and reproach, or to dis
appoint the highest expectations of right thinking
people. With such feelings upon the subject, and
with such determination on my part, am willing
to accept the nomination. Should be elected l
pledge myself that in all the requirements of
proper and faithful discharge of the duties i'm
posed it shall be my one aim and purpose not
only to merit the confidence and respect of the
party that nominated me, but also the approba-
ton of the whole people Of the District
am, very truly yours,

Our esteemed neighbor of the Democrat is
getting "worked up" even this early in the cam
paign. He fears lukewarmness in his party and
tells the boys to remember our Potato Bug ex-
perience." The "bugs" may not be so numerous
this year as they were in 1875, but they've got
"kickers" galore in their ranks, and some very
tough ones at that. Perhaps our brother of the
Democrat is in the same condition the old lady

@-Dr. J. Pembroke Thorn, prominent citizen
of Baltimore, and Mr.. Edwin Warfeld, Surveyor
of the Port had hostile meeting at the Merchants
Club on Thursday last, in which Dr. Thorn was
knocked down and had his eyes BACKED. After
wards Mr.. DeCourcey Thorn, son of the Dr.,
met Mr. Warfeld on the street and made an attack
upon him. Both gentlemen were arrested and
taken to the station house. All the gentlemen
are Democrats and the fight grew out of politi-
cal discussion in which DR.. Thorn denounced the
late Democratic primaries as fraudulent and used
some pretty hard language towards Mr.. Warfeld,
who did not agee with him.

ty are earnestly at work for the Prohibition ticket
and will do all they to increase their vote over
the last election OF course they do not expect to
win. and to maintain so bold front with certain
defeat staring them in the face, shows that they
have plenty of pluck. Republicans who favor the
temperance cause should remember that they have
a good ticket of their own to vote for and that it
is not good policy at this time to throw their votes
for party that is in a hopeless minority.
